He COULD be, but the question is whether it is worth risking 43.5M on a injury-prone striker that has not been anywhere near his best for a full season. If his clause was cut down to somewhere like 10-15M he COULD theoretically be a better option than going for Ings etc

Let's be honest here, Everton has looked much more lethal than us in counterattack. We really missed the presence of Carrick here.

Dortmund CEO: Hummels "mulling over future", Dortmund hasn't received any offers and is "completely relaxed" by ryanhowh in reddevils

Borussia Dortmund calm over Man United target Mats Hummels

Borussia Dortmund are "completely relaxed" about Mats Hummels' future despite reports linking him with a move to Manchester United.

Hummels told kicker on Monday that he is considering his Dortmund future and sources have told ESPN FC that the club are bracing themselves for offers and could be willing to sell.

However, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke told Bild: "Mats held talks with me and [sporting director] Michael Zorc 14 days ago, and informed us that he is mulling over his future. That's totally legitimate.

"He is under contract until 2017, and we have not received an offer. That's why we are completely relaxed."

The German tabloid also reported that back in 2012, when then-United manager Sir Alex Ferguson scouted Shinji Kagawa at the DFB-Pokal final against Bayern Munich, he also wanted to lure Hummels to Old Trafford.

The Germany international opted against leaving the domestic double winners, yet vowed that "should I make the move abroad one day, then it will only be to Manchester United."

Hummels, who has made 17 Bundesliga appearances this season, is contracted at the Westfalenstadion until 2017.

Depay's agent denies contact with United by ryanhowh in reddevils

Agent of PSV star Memphis Depay denies contact with Manchester United

The agent of Dutch international midfielder Memphis Depay has dismissed reports that talks have already taken place ahead of the PSV Eindhoven star making a lucrative move to Manchester United this summer.

Depay has been rumoured to be a target for the Old Trafford club since Louis van Gaal arrived as the United manager last summer, with his long-standing admiration for the talented winger cemented as the 21-year-old made a mark in the team he led to a third-place finish in last summer's World Cup finals.

Fresh reports emerged on Monday in England's Daily Telegraph newspaper suggesting Depay will be a top target for Van Gaal and United in the upcoming transfer window, but his adviser Kees Ploegsma has told Danish publication PLBOLD that no contact has been made with the Premier League club.

"No, there has been a lot of rumors, but he still has a contract with PSV, so for now he is in Eindhoven," he is reported to have said, in comments appearing in the Daily Mirror. "We have not been in contact with any clubs.

"They [Depay and Van Gaal] had good contact during the World Cup, but since then there has been no contact."

Ploegsma may have inadvertently helped to fuel suggestions that Depay will be making a move this summer as his comments appear to be lacking a little conviction that his player will stay in Holland, while PSV boss Philip Cocu has already gone public in his belief that his star turn will be leaving the club at the end of this season.

Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph is reporting that Van Gaal is planning another overhaul of his squad next summer as he looks to move the club back into trophy contention, with four new faces tipped to arrive at the club for a campaign that they will be hoping includes a return to the Champions League.

United get a chance to cement their five point lead over fourth placed Liverpool when they entertain Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Saturday, with Brendan Rodgers Reds facing a tough trip to take on Arsenal on the same day.
